I've got one at the studio right now. The studio is a tracking/mixing room; I don't do much mastering, but I have been experimenting with it on tracks, busses, and the 2-mix.
Overall, my biggest problem with it is the interface. It's the least intuitive processor I've ever come across, period. I can't seem to wrap my head around the controls, the knobs feel kinda funny to me (simultaneously sticky and loose), the whole thing just feels sorta "off". Every time I've tried to use it, I spend more time squinting at the labeling trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing than I do listening, which is pretty lame (not to mention a huge waste of time).
Sonically, it's exactly what you'd expect: very clean, very surgical, very precise. Not particularly useful for 99% of my needs (mixing rock n roll music), but I can certainly see it serving as a go-to "clean" EQ in a mastering lab. That is, assuming the ME has better luck and intuition with regards to the unit's controls.
